Stevie Quote #186
Quote from Stevie in The Pitch
Johnny: Now, I'd like to introduce you to my team. This is Stevie Budd and Roland Schitt, and together we are Rosebud Motel Group.
Tripp Campbell: Look, we read the information packet you sent through. Buying up local motels, dusting them off, and selling it as a boutique experience. Right?
Johnny: That's correct. So Stevie how do you feel about walking us through the projections?
Stevie: Okay. So... [slide chimes] you might be thinking to yourself these motels are small, how and why should I... We invest? Well, that's a good question.
Bryce Wilson: I should hope so. It's why we're all here. [all laugh]
Stevie: Well, here's why. There are currently over 250,000 motels for sale across North America.
Johnny: Sadly, it's a dying industry, but not one without potential.
Stevie: Now, apply our re-invigoration model. Re-invigoration. [clicking] Um, should I just wait until it unfreezes?
Johnny: Billion dollar company and none of us can stop technology from cacking out, am I right?

Quote from Johnny
Johnny: Now, let me ask you, how many of you have stayed in a motel? Well, motels are small hotels without the golf courses in case you... [chuckles] Well, good-good-good. So you're familiar at least. Now, when I say "motel", what comes to mind? Uh, rundown? Unclean? Unsafe?
Tripp Campbell: Yeah, that sounds about right.
Johnny: Well, that's what I used to think. I always saw motels as a last resort, a dreaded pit stop. But I was wrong. Motels have the potential of offering a window into the unique charm of small town life. And that's exactly what the Rosebud Motel Group plans to do. Open that window and revitalize the classic roadside motel for a new generation. Turns out, a couple of coats of paint and dusting off some mid-century furniture can go a long way.
Stevie: That's right. We've seen a 400% increase in occupancy since we started marketing. And cleaning.
Johnny: And if this is what we can do with one motel, just imagine what we can do with 10,000. I'm not coming to you for charity here, I'm coming to you with an opportunity. There is value in these motels. And if you're wondering how I'm so sure... My family and I have been staying in a motel for the past three years. And I wouldn't trade our stay there for anything. That's how strongly I believe in this idea. As Stevie can attest, if my family can find peace and comfort staying at a motel, anyone can. And I can only wish that one day soon you and your families can experience the love and simple pleasures that come with staying even for one night... at a Rosebud Motel.
Johnny, Stevie & Roland: Where every stay feels like home.
Quote from Moira
Moira: [gasps] Oh gals! You shouldn't have. Jocelyn, are we now moonlighting as town crier?
Jocelyn: Oh, no, Moira...
Moira: Cheeky gawpus you. Yes, it's true. Our husbands, at my husband's direction, are currently in New York City, vending their business to the corporate cognoscenti.
Quote from Alexis
Alexis: Um, apparently when dad signs the deal, we are moving to New York.
David: What? Well, who's moving to New York?
Alexis: Mom and Dad. And me.
David: And nobody thought to include me in this plan?
Alexis: I literally just found out, and I'm telling you right now.
David: Okay. Well, this might be a stupid question, but what if the deal doesn't go through?
Alexis: Okay. You would have no way of knowing this, but usually when someone sends a jet for you, it means he's very interested. Trust me. And Tiger Woods.
